Yeah, it's an alias ;-) No, sure, it's a typo, thanks for catching. In 
fact, it still works, becaus I2C OF parsing doesn't use the vendor string, 
but it's better to get it right.

Mark, you said you'd already applied this. Would you prefer an incremental 
patch or shall I send an updated version?

If you hadn't removed the "-" lines, you would've seen, that I didn't 
invent this string but just moved it from one place to another.
